    Bren0man got a reaction from Shahnewaz in LTT is getting some interesting exposure!   
    So was browsing the interwebs, as one does, when I stumbled across this article from the Daily Mail in the UK (but the Australian sub-site):

    Good to see LTT getting further exposure, as the DM surely have quite a large readership. I do wonder if they got in touch with LMG beforehand, or if they even are required to despite featuring Linus and his video so heavily? 
     
    Anyway, nice one, LTT team!! 
     
    PS. Sorry if this is in the wrong place. I tried to put it in LTT section but was unable to do so.

    Yes well, the Daily Mail is probably not the standard one should aspire to with regards to accuracy and general competence.

    Hi guys!

    My precious gpu died about 5 months ago. I was pretty devastated as a collage student there was no other option than to use my integrated graphics. 
    I was doing okay with it since although I could not play with most of games I like.
    Today I was inspired and quite suprised at the same time while watching the resurrection vlog.
    Decided to give it a go.
    And holy f. sht. it worked. I can not express how glad I am to follow you guys on the WLAN shows and on Youtube.
    I gave up on my card ages ago and even tho its a ~6 years old card with not mutch of a value, the fact that I was able to resurrect it for some time is unbelievable.
    Thank you for all your work and holy moly thank you for this video.

    Hey all. Great news! I got it to work, and so far, she's working a treat. I won't go into much detail right now as it's late and I'm exhausted, but for some reason, it wasn't playing well with Windows 7. As soon as I installed Windows 8.1 or 10 (my preferred OS), BAM! Off she went without a hitch. 
     
    I'll type a follow-up post tomorrow. Cheers.

    I like how the "what to watch next" is just a blank box with a question mark in it and no link, it makes the video that much better.

    I have almost the exact same server as you and have no problems. My Case is the much smaller 19" with Dual PSU and 6 HDD bay hot swap.
     
    The motherboard in it is the same, Intel S5520HC, but I have dual Intel Xeon E5520 with 36GB ram and a Asus 6970 graphics card. Had to use molex adapters like you had to. I also changed out the CPU coolers for two Cosair H55's to get the noise down, now it's almost silent.
     
    The hardware you have should work fine and from memory I didn't have to do anything special to get mine going nicely. It was a long time ago but I know I didn't do any firmware updates. I have seen a similar issue to what you describe and it turned out to be storage related so check these drivers and also while running a benchmark check the disk queue length in resource monitor.
     
    Hope you get it working as it will be an amazingly good system.

    What your getting is normal. Constantly being above 30 would be a problem and spiking over 100+ was the issue a system was having with similar symptoms to what you described.
     
    As for the drivers for the sata ports, yes it should just be plug and play. The motherboard/chipset isn't actually that old, X58 era. I haven't actually used the sata ports on my system for anything other than the DVD drive since I've always used a hardware RAID card with it so can't confirm much around that.
